Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

[Dear Wiggo]

All things being equal Wiggins performance at the Tour in 09' was better than Froome Vuelta in '11. The quality of the field in the Tour was way higher. The Vuelta is a strange race to judge/predict.

You are in agreement with me: great!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Not noticed the massive gulf in performance between Sky and Astana/Tinkov?

Which year are we talking, as that affects which direction this gulf is in.

 

[stutue]

We are talking July 2014, and yes it is a reversal of fortunes.

Where is he ?

Team Sky website has no news or reports on Froome. Considering he is the number 1 British Cyclist I think that is extremely odd.

And still no tweets from Froome.

Portes tweeting - in Monaco.

Should be interesting to see how Froome goes in the vuelta.

I think Horner will teach the brits a thing or two about how to dope.

Guess: it'll be sorted by August 15th and then we'll hear something.

neither is Porte but he is on twitter

So if a cyclist isn't very active on social media it now means they are up to something no good?

why would he stop tweeting after July 18th ? one tweet on July 27th.

I went back to beginning of April and he tweets every 2 or 3 days...sometimes many tweets every day especially during the Tour.

Considering we now know he is hanging out with Leipheimer... YEH its suspicious !!

So by that token of reasoning when he was tweeting there was nothing suspicious happening?

Or someone got the bright idea to convince him to concentrate on his training, and not his social media life......
-----------------
Conspiracy angle could be that something bad is coming his way...

Ill go with the first option for now...

Maybe, nothing is happening in his life that is noteworthy to tweet about.
Maybe, he's too busy at the moment to tweet.
Maybe, he just doesn't feel like using Twitter at the moment.

The frequency of a cyclists use of social media isn't suspicious at all, it proves nothing and means nothing. Your really stretching if your seriously trying to use this as proof of doping.

 

[stutue]

Maybe he is suffering from a trolls infestation and has better things to do with his time

The 'trolls' were out in force pre- TDF and afterwards....didnt stop him using twitter

 

[stutue]

I haven't used twitter for a while either.

What does that mean?

so what trolls are you refering to?

 

[BYOP88]

so what trolls are you refering to?

The people who don't buy/believe Brailsford/Cound/Froome/Sky statements, natch.

Yep.

Mind you there may not be any trolling of Froome going on as all the sceptics will be busy focusing their ire on the guy that just cheated his way to a TdF win.

Froome is old news.

I thought Froome was hiding from the trolls, but now he is old news? Make up your mind.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Brailsford needs to come out and explain why Froome isn't using twitter and give a good explanation for the sudden transformation which Deignan is going to show at some stage in the future. The fans needs answers.
